What are Feed Drivers?

Feed Drivers are professional drivers responsible for transporting animal feed from production facilities or storage locations to farms, feed mills, or distribution centers. They typically operate large commercial vehicles such as feed trucks or tractor-trailers equipped with special tanks or compartments for bulk feed. Feed Drivers must follow strict safety and hygiene regulations to ensure the feed remains uncontaminated during transport. They may also be required to load and unload feed, complete delivery documentation, and communicate with customers to coordinate deliveries. This role often requires a commercial driver's license (CDL) and knowledge of agricultural logistics.

What are some common challenges Feed Drivers face on the job, and how can they be addressed?

Feed Drivers often encounter challenges such as navigating rural or off-road routes, adhering to strict delivery schedules, and managing heavy or bulk cargo. Weather and road conditions can also make routes unpredictable. To address these challenges, it's important to develop strong route planning skills, maintain open communication with dispatch and farm managers, and follow proper safety protocols when loading and unloading feed. Many employers provide training and support systems to help drivers handle these situations effectively and safely.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Feed Driver, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Feed Driver, you need a valid commercial driver's license (CDL), knowledge of safe driving practices, and experience operating large vehicles, often with prior experience in agriculture or transportation. Familiarity with GPS navigation, electronic logging devices (ELDs), and truck maintenance systems is typically required. Strong time management, attention to detail, and effective communication skills help drivers coordinate with dispatchers and customers. These skills ensure timely and safe delivery of animal feed, regulatory compliance, and reliable service to agricultural clients.

Job description

Pillen Family Farms is a family owned business located in Nebraska. We market approximately 2 million pigs annually. As a family-owned and family-focused farming operation, great care goes into everything we do. From family members to team members, to even our pigs we believe in treating others with respect and as part of our family.


Job Description:

  • Feed mill delivery drivers deliver feed to our pigs, in well-maintained, company-provided trucks/trailers, 4-5 times a week, from our feed mill to designated farm sites.
  • Feed mill drivers don't judge a good day by the amount of miles covered; rather by the impact they made to the team.
  • You have the ability to communicate with farm leadership, feed mill team members and recognize "the right feed to right pigs at the right time" as your goal.
  • Feed mill drivers work in two basic shifts, each with normal start times and various completion times. Feed mill drivers enjoy the regularity of this position, allowing time at home for family and other activities.

Requirements:

  • Clean driving record, flexible schedule, and be comfortable driving in winter road conditions.
  • Must also be comfortable driving long distances between stops.
  • When required: walking, standing, squatting, kneeling, climbing, using hands/tools to assist.
  • Attention to detail and a focus on working safely is a must-have for this position.
  • Comply with all bio-security, safety, and animal welfare policies.
  • Experience driving fifth wheel trailers preferred.
  • CDL and Motor Vehicle Record Report Required.
